Hi
Heres the story:
Just installed the above hardware into friends very dead machine.  Installed WINme via dos into hard drive (hard drive completely formatted).  Booted up.
OK so it looked, checked the BIOS - seemed OK.  The first windows screen appeared & it begun to detect new components - motherboard etc, then half way through - The blue screen of death! Then re boots again.  This time it will try scandisk but blue screen will appear half way through that.... & so it goes on.  HELP!

The motherboard has already been sent back once & been tested.  Says fine.

Oh, tyred his hard drive in my own machine & booted up & worked totally fine so Winme installation fine.

Hi,

Was the motherboard tested with the same CPU and memory you have?

Thanks for reply.   Have not discovered the problem.  Even though it had a new fan & heat sink the pc was still getting too hot & crashing.  So with an even better fan all is well.

Great! Glad you got it fixed!
